| 18 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hondo_ohnaka_pirate_symbol.png]] |
| 19 | |
| 20 | A large Weequay-led pirate gang founded by Hondo Ohnaka and active during the Clone Wars. Operating out of a base on the planet Florrum, the Ohnaka Gang routinely found itself involved in Jedi and Sith affairs during the war, often playing both sides for personal profit. Following the war, the Empire cracked down hard on the gang, leaving Hondo as one of its only active members. Around the Battle of Hoth, the Ohnaka Gang was officially rebuilt, but under the leadership of Skragg and without Hondo's involvement. |
| 21 | ---- |
| 22 | * TheCameo: Their insignia (seen on the right) appears at Maz Kanata's fortress in ''Film/TheForceAwakens''. |
| 23 | * EqualOpportunityEvil: In ''The Clone Wars'', while the gang is mostly made up of male Weequay (and promoted in its debut appearance as a Weequay pirate gang), there are several female pirates and members of other species in the gang. Other species shown to be part of the gang in ''The Clone Wars'' include Twi'leks, Jawas, Bith, Niktos, Ishi Tibs, and Kowakian monkey lizards (even though they seem like pets, monkey lizards are a lot more intelligent than they appear). During the events of ''Rebels'', Hondo hired Ugnaughts as well, but by that point his gang is pretty much just him and the Ugnaughts. |
| 24 | * FlyingSaucer: Their ships are large saucer shaped vessels. Even their fighter-craft are saucer-like, just without the spinning. |
| 25 | * SpacePirates: One of the largest and most active pirate groups during the Clone Wars. |

| 38 | |
| 39 | Hondo Ohnaka was a greedy Weequay pirate captain with some vague sense of honor and morality. He led the Ohnaka pirate gang during the Clone Wars and lived to tell the tale of his many misadventures with the Republic and the Separatists. Hondo may seem goofy and comical, but he's got some chops considering how powerful his gang was, and even faces off with the likes of the Sith Lords Dooku and Darth Maul. However, following the end of the Clone Wars and the extinction of the Jedi, Hondo found his gang destroyed and his own empire crushed by the Galactic Empire. Not one to take this lying down, Hondo perseveres as a lone smuggler, seeking opportunities for profit wherever they may knock. He came into contact with Ezra Bridger, a member of the fledgling Rebellion, and formed an uneasy, but affable friendship with the boy. |
| 40 | \ |
| 41 | In the decades after the end of the Galactic Civil War, Ohnaka settled on Batuu and established Ohnaka Transport Solutions, a seemingly legit business. However, it was in fact a front for smuggling. |
| 42 | ---- |
| 43 | * ActorAllusion: There's more than a little [[VideoGame/BaldursGate Minsc]] in Hondo, with Hondo sharing Minsc's comical LargeHam tendencies, fondness for a LoyalAnimalCompanion,[[note]]Minsc having Boo, and Hondo's Lizard-Monkey PirateParrot stand-ins[[/note]] and both being somewhere on the other side of sane.[[note]]though Hondo stays around the level of a BunnyEarsLawyer rather than being a full-on CloudCuckoolander like Minsc.[[/note]] Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}} even uses the same voice and accent in his performance. |
| 44 | * AerithAndBob: Compared to most ''Star Wars'' characters, Hondo has a very Japanese-sounding name. |
| 45 | * AffablyEvil: During Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Dooku's attempts to escape from his base, Hondo remains his jovial self, insisting that it's nothing personal and that they can all go back to being friends once he has his money. He also has a PetTheDog moment when he convinces Boba to give up the hostage's location at Plo Koon's request. In ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', it may be after some character growth, but he declares undying respect for Ezra, whose hope and optimism inspire him. Yes, he's in it for himself, but he loves the Jedi and what they do, even if he can't aspire to that in himself. |
| 46 | * AmazonChaser: He seems to have a thing for badass girls, based on the fact that: he sounded very enthusiastic when he told Aurra to her face that she's a ''very'' dangerous woman and he immediately tried to hit on Steela when they met during the battle of Onderon, plus the creepy, slightly flirtatious tone he used in the Young Jedi arc towards Ahsoka. |
| 47 | * AmicableExes: He gets along with Aurra Sing more than just fine. |
| 48 | * ArcVillain: Of the "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E11DookuCaptured Dooku Captured]]" and "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E12TheGunganGeneral The Gungan General]]" two-parter. He also serves the role [[spoiler: until Grievous shows up in the last episode]] for the Young Jedi arc in Season 5 of ''The Clone Wars''. |
| 49 | * ArsonMurderAndAdmiration: |
| 50 | ** Upon learning that several of his lieutenants have betrayed him, Hondo immediately denounces them as traitors, then he exclaims how proud he is of them. |
| 51 | ** When they meet, Ezra introduces himself as "Lando Calrissian". When his lie is revealed, Hondo's reaction is to state that he knew he liked Ezra. |
| 52 | * ArtShiftedSequel: Hondo's appearance in ''Rebels'' differs greatly from his appearance in ''The Clone Wars''; he has a smaller chin, less wrinkles, and a broader nose in the former. He also has much longer horns along his jawline, though this may be a sign of aging more so than a different art style. |
| 53 | * AscendedExtra: Originally a one-shot villain that appeared in two episodes of season one of ''The Clone Wars'', he gained exponentially more screen time and became one of the most recurring secondary villains of the series alongside Cad Bane, and returned to the supporting cast for ''Rebels'' as well. |
| 54 | * BadassBoast: Two in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E1Revival Revival]]": |
| 55 | ** He gives one to Darth Maul when Maul threatens to kill him. |
| 56 | --->'''Hondo:''' Let me warn you! You're not the first LaserSword-wielding maniac I've had to deal with! And Hondo Ohnaka survives every time! |
| 57 | ** And again near the end of the episode: |
| 58 | --->'''Hondo:''' Insolence? Haha! We are pirates! We don't even know what that means! Open fire! |
| 59 | * BadassLongcoat: He wears a red coat. |
| 60 | * BadassNormal: In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E17BountyHunters Bounty Hunters]]", he fought Anakin with an electrostaff and survived the encounter. He gets a repeat performance against Ahsoka in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E7ATestOfStrength A Test of Strength]], but here it's made clear Ahsoka doesn't want to hurt him, and she was stalling for time. Also, in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E9ANecessaryBond A Necessary Bond]]", he fought battle droids with what may be the first ''normal'' sword in the whole series. |
| 61 | * BadBoss: He seems to act like one much of the time. One time, he threatened to do ''more'' than decapitate one of his men ([[invoked]][[FridgeHorror whatever that means]]) and another time, he had some of Preigo's circus performers [[DisproportionateRetribution executed for botching up an act]] and then [[DecapitationPresentation kept their skulls]] [[CreepySouvenir as trophies]]. However... |
| 62 | * BenevolentBoss: He treats his men remarkably well for a ruthless pirate, and he even [[EasilyForgiven accepts them back after they backstab him]]. He also cares about their lives, as seen by his brief look of horror when Maul brutally murders one of his men (the one who stayed loyal to him) over a holocom. Presumably to keep up appearances, however, he's more flippant about the subject in the presence of others, such as listing some of his dead men as a business expense to Obi-Wan. |
| 63 | * BoisterousWeakling: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged]]. Depending on the situation (and whether or not he has tons of men or other outside help), he can live up to some of his bragging, such as those times he captured Dooku or managed to fight Anakin in a duel. However, he still has a tendency to exaggerate himself and his abilities, like when he embellished the story of how he captured Dooku before Obi-wan and Anakin. The ''Galaxy's Edge'' comic showed what would happen if Hondo fought a skilled, [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane possibly Force sensitive]] warrior and didn't have a massive amount of men or his Kowakian Monkey Lizard by his side. On a mission to steal a kyber statue, Hondo got into a fight with one of the Guardians of the Whills and got beaten pretty bad. After that, he had a second confrontation against Chirrut Imwe and was shown to be more on the losing end before his companion talked Chirrut down. In the aftermath, Hondo was ''still'' talking trash about how he would've won the battle if Dok-Ondar didn't interfere. |
| 64 | %%* BookDumb: Hondo is by no means stupid, and is a shrewd businessman and pirate who [[KnowWhenToFoldEm Knows When to Fold 'Em]] (surviving throughout the Clone Wars and well ''past'' the Empire's reign). Nevertheless, this one exchange with Darth Maul (which doubles as a BadassBoast) seems to imply this. |
| 65 | %%-->'''Maul:''' You will '''pay''' for your insolence!\ |
| 66 | '''Hondo:''' Insolence? ''[laughs]'' We are ''pirates!'' We don't even know what that means! Open fire! |
| 67 | * BreakoutVillain: Though he was mainly intended to have a single appearance in a two-part episode in ''The Clone Wars'', he proved to be so popular that he appeared in several seasons. He even became an ArcVillain for a four-part storyline. Not only that, but he became a recurring character again on ''Rebels'' as well, and eventually became a central fixture of Disneyland / Disneyworld's Galaxy's Edge theme park. |
| 68 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite his eccentricities, he's probably one of the smartest crime lords in the galaxy during the time of the Clone War. For instance, he knew that working for [[AxCrazy Darth Maul]] was an unprofitable venture from the get-go and was able to buy his own men's loyalty back from Maul. Compare that to the other crime lords who joined the Shadow Collective, who didn't realize working with Maul was a bad move until he started butting heads with the Separatists and things started to fall apart. |
| 69 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: In his debut episode alone, Hondo helps Count Dooku escape from crash landing only to immediately sell him out to Republic, and then follows that up by taking Anakin and Obi-Wan hostage when they come to take Count Dooku into custody. Later on, he helps perform an arms delivery on behalf of the Republic, only to raid a Republic transport for kyber crystals, and then goes back to helping the Republic when he has to deal with Grievous and Maul. In Rebels, he frequently takes advantage of the Ghost Crew for his own benefit, switching his stance on a whim as it benefits him. |
| 70 | * CombatPragmatist: He's prone to picking on weaker targets who can't fight back against him like pacifistic farmers or jedi younglings, and takes full advantage of the mercy shown to him by Anakin and Ahsoka during their fights. |
| 71 | * ComicBookFantasyCasting: If Boba Fett is Creator/ClintEastwood and Cad Bane is Creator/LeeVanCleef, then it seems obvious that Hondo is Creator/EliWallach. He takes the AffablyEvil Calvera role in their [[TheMagnificentSevenSamurai Magnificent Seven homage]] episode and also has some similarities to [[Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly Tuco.]] Jim Cummings has stated that he based Hondo's voice and Mexican accent on Creator/RicardoMontalban. |
| 72 | * ConnectedAllAlong: It turns out that he once teamed up with IG-88 to try and capture Crimson Dawn lieutenant Qi'ra, who is also the former girlfriend of [[OneDegreeOfSeparation Han Solo]]. |
| 73 | * ConscienceMakesYouGoBack: Katooni guilt-trips him into rescuing Ahsoka and the other younglings in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E9ANecessaryBond A Necessary Bond]]". |
| 74 | -->'''Katooni:''' What about the others? We can't just leave them.\ |
| 75 | '''Hondo:''' You are welcome to come, small one. You may join our merry band of pirates.\ |
| 76 | '''Katooni:''' I won't just run away. Ahsoka '''trusted''' you. We all trusted you.\ |
| 77 | '''Hondo:''' ''[stops, bows his head and sighs in resignation]'' |
| 78 | * CoolOldGuy: He's still not the most trustworthy guy by the time of ''Rebels'', but he's jollier than ever in his old age and never shows Ezra or the Rebels any true malice. |
| 79 | * DeadpanSnarker: In ''spades''. For instance, upon being told by Katooni that she has his back: |
| 80 | -->"Oh ... I feel ''so'' safe." |
| 81 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: That guy kidnapped both a Sith Lord and two Jedis and it never came to his mind that he would face any form of consequences. |
| 82 | * DirtyOldMan: Oh, is he ever. A highlight of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E8BoundForRescue Bound for Rescue]]" is Hondo being escorted back to his cabin by two scantily-clad [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Twi'lek girls]]. |
| 83 | -->'''Hondo:''' ''[visibly three sheets to the wind]'' I may not be as young as I once was, but ''I'm older!'' |
| 84 | * EasilyForgiven: |
| 85 | ** In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E12TheGunganGeneral The Gungan General]]", Obi-Wan decides to let Hondo go just as he, Anakin, and Republic envoy party board the ''Twilight'', stating they have no quarrel with him and his pirates despite him holding Obi-Wan and Anakin for ransom and torturing them (after some lies from [[TheStarscream Turk Falso]]). While Anakin and Hondo are a bit baffled, Jedi don't normally hold grudges. However, this is shortly downplayed, as he reminds Hondo that Count Dooku won't be as forgiving as they are. Cue four seasons later, [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty Count Dooku sends General Grievous to tear his base apart and (temporarily) holds him prisoner]]. Plus, the relationship between the Jedi (Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and Anakin) and Hondo can be described as "somewhat amicable" and in far better terms than the Separatists…unless an opportunity for profit presents itself, of course. |
| 86 | ** In turn, he even forgives the survivors of the crew that personally betrayed him. What a guy. This may stem from his understanding that the pirate profession comes with betrayal. |
| 87 | ** Ezra is upset with him when it turns out Hondo played them all in "[[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E12LegendsOfTheLasat Legends of the Lasat]]", though about a year later in "[[Recap/StarWarsRebelsStepsIntoShadow Steps into Shadow]]", he's moved past it and is glad to see him. Which is saying something, considering what Ezra just went through the ''last'' time he got his trust broken only about a month after that. Justified by Hondo being a FriendlyEnemy (as described below) and near harmless, while [[spoiler:Maul]] was a complete KnightOfCerebus and violated his trust along with several permanent consequences. |
| 88 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: From his first episode, Hondo made it clear that he is a man motivated by profit and opportunity, be it making money through the Republic or the Separatists. It also show he’s a man with a sharp wit, knowing well that dealing with the Seps could easily lead to an early annihilation via the droid armies, when Dooku offered a ransom to be paid for his release. A rule that the earlier episodes of the Clone Wars has established, that deals with the Seps could easily end badly. Onconda Farr, Gha Nachkt and Argyus, learnt that the hard way, especially the later two found out…through the end of a lightsaber stabbed in their backs. |
| 89 | * EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: His mother was apparently also a pirate and he fondly quotes her business wisdom, such as "one hostage is good but two is better and ''three''...heheh, that is just good business." |
| 90 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Turns out he sincerely cares for Ezra, willing to help the Jedi boy out of good will and not profit. He also cares for Melch too, to a lesser extent. |
| 91 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 92 | ** He has a strong distaste for Separatists and especially Sith Lords, mostly because they can't be bargained with like reasonable people. |
| 93 | ** Notably, Hondo WouldHurtAChild if he thinks it's justified, as with the Jedi children. But (as Jim Cummings put it), he would never ''enjoy'' it, he would much rather they could one day tell stories of the time they met the great pirate Hondo Ohnaka! He also admits that he doesn't like taking children into battle in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E9ANecessaryBond A Necessary Bond]]", despite attacking them two episodes before. |
| 94 | --->'''Hondo:''' I may be a pirate, but I don't like taking... ''children'' into battle. |
| 95 | ** He's noticeably disturbed in "[[Recap/StarWarsRebelsStepsIntoShadow Steps into Shadow]]" when [[spoiler: Ezra makes an AT-DP pilot shoot his own comrades before [[PsychicAssistedSuicide having him walk off the catwalk]]]]. Probably helped by the fact that the last time he saw Ezra (almost a year ago, in "[[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E12LegendsOfTheLasat Legends of the Lasat]]"), the boy used to be an AllLovingHero and NaiveNewcomer. |
| 96 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Ezra is the only person that seems to legitimately like him, while the rest of the ''Ghost'' crew regard him with annoyance. |
| 97 | * FriendlyEnemy: |
| 98 | ** When not working against the Jedi, he's pretty sociable. Especially notable in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E7ATestOfStrength A Test of Strength]]" when Ahsoka tells Hondo that she doesn't want to hurt him. He expresses gratitude for that. By the time of the early Rebellion, he remembers Obi-Wan as one of his best friends, however he admits uncertainty on whether it was mutual. In "[[Ride/StarWarsGalaxysEdge Galaxy's Edge: Smuggler's Run]]" and its tie-in media, Hondo named his latest starship after Katooni, and has great sentimental attachment to the ship for reasons he won't reveal. This works against him during the Imperial era, since in addition to being a wanted criminal he's also known to be a Jedi sympathizer, though [[KarmaHoudini being Hondo]] he still gets away with it. |
| 99 | ** A mutual case with Ezra Bridger. In the space of one episode, they betray, steal from, and lie to each other, but neither seems too upset about it and they get along well, and none of Hondo's antics seem to bother Ezra too much. It helps that before he became a Jedi Padawan, Ezra was a small-time, opportunistic thief not unlike Hondo himself. |
| 100 | * GenreBlind: Hondo still has a moment of this when he assumed he had killed Savage and Darth Maul simply because he shot their ship down and couldn't find the bodies. |
| 101 | * TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil: Not a Good guy per se, but downright lovable compared to the Evil of TheEmpire. |
| 102 | * GogglesDoNothing: He wears a pair of goggles, for no apparent reason, other than they look cool. |
| 103 | * GoldfishPoopGang: He and his pirates are this to the Jedi. He seems more effective whenever he's fighting Sith and Separatists, really, as Count Dooku, General Grievous and Darth Maul all found out. |
| 104 | * {{Greed}}: His primary (or rather only) motivator is money. He even lampshades it: |
| 105 | -->'''Hondo:''' We all know how much I like to be rich, don't we? |
| 106 | * HazyFeelTurn: By the ''Rebels'' era, he is much more personable, though it may also just be because his star has fallen so much - he's gone from one of the galaxy's foremost pirates to a small-time thief and smuggler. |
| 107 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: |
| 108 | ** Is Hondo a good guy or a bad guy? |
| 109 | --->'''Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}}:''' [[MathematiciansAnswer Yes. Definitely.]] |
| 110 | ** During the era of the Empire, while still untrustworthy for the most part, Hondo is far from being an antagonist and is ''usually'' helpful to the Rebels. And he does form a genuine, if slightly uneasy, friendship with Ezra. |
| 111 | * HiddenDepths: For all his backstabbing and opportunism, Hondo has a genuine deep respect for the Jedi and their ideals. This is what largely fuels his affable position towards Obi-Wan and the padawans he encounters in the Clone Wars. By the time of ''Rebels'', this leads to a bond with Ezra that he prizes equally to profit. |
| 112 | -->'''Hondo:''' That boy has spirit. He reminds me of the time when there was still something you could believe in. For that boy, there is nothing I would not do. |
| 113 | * HowTheMightyHaveFallen: During the Clone Wars, Hondo used to be one of the most successful criminals in the galaxy, profiting from the war. Thanks to the Empire, by the time of the early Rebellion he was on his own, with nothing more than the clothes on his back and his wits. |
| 114 | * IndispensableScoundrel: Ohnaka is a pirate leader who is not affiliated with either side of the civil war that is the backdrop to the series. That said, he's one of the heroes' frequent allies because his connections, knowledge of the underworld, and lack of ethics for the sake of profit makes him a tremendously useful asset...unfortunately, he's also frequently pitted against the heroes for the same reasons. However, he always seems to get off [[KarmaHoudini pretty much scot free]] and on relatively good terms with the heroes because there's never any malice and the heroes never know if his services will be needed again. |
| 115 | * IndyPloy: His usual M.O. straddles the line between this and XanatosSpeedChess. |
| 116 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: Forms one with Ezra during the second season of ''Rebels''. They're both wily scoundrels at times, but they form an affable friendship and Hondo never displays any malice towards him or the Rebels. |
| 117 | * InterspeciesRomance: At some point, Hondo (Weequay) had a relationship with Aurra Sing (Palliduvan). |
| 118 | * InsistentTerminology: He is not a smuggler, he is a space pirate. |
| 119 | * {{Irony}}: When Count Dooku sends General Grievous to take his base, Hondo is locked in the same cell he locked Dooku in when he held him for ransom. |
| 120 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[Main/ZigzaggedTrope Zigzags]] between this and JerkWithAHeartOfJerk, as while he has moments of goodness, he, DependingOnTheWriter, might have a selfish reason for it. An example of the latter trope is despite considering Ezra a friend, he has no problem abandoning him if the going gets tough. |
| 121 | * KavorkaMan: Hondo's not exactly what most fans would call ''handsome'', but it seems he's had very little trouble hooking up with some very attractive ladies, most notably Aurra Sing. |
| 122 | * KarmaHoudini: He manages to get away with a number of his criminal actions without any retribution whatsoever. |
| 123 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Played with. While Obi-Wan let Hondo off the hook for holding him and Anakin for ransom, Count Dooku did not take it well and retaliated against him much later in the war (in terms of ''The Clone Wars'' syndication life, this was four seasons later) by taking over and tearing apart his base, and throwing Hondo in the same cell he kept Dooku in. While Hondo was liberated not long after, his pirate gang was fractured some time after the Galactic Empire came to power, turning him from an infamous pirate king to a has-been. |
| 124 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: In both "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E17BountyHunters Bounty Hunters]]" and "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E1Revival Revival]]", he pulls out of battle when he realizes that the tide has turned against his gang. |
| 125 | * LargeHam: "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis THIS EFFORT! IS NO LONGER! PROFITABLE!]]" And that's ''hardly'' the only example. |
| 126 | * LongLastLook: When he and his pirate gang are forced off their planet by General Grievous. Hondo is the last of the evacuating pirates to get off his bike, and makes sure to shut it down properly before making his way to the ship. He ends up coming back, though. |
| 127 | * LovableRogue: On his better days, he's a charming pirate who acts as an ally to the Republic and the Rebellion. Even when he's acting against them, he still maintains his affable and gregarious demeanor. |
| 128 | * MoodDissonance: Stays perfectly still and calm while his HQ is bombed, even ignoring laser fire to either side of him. When the battle itself kicks in, he's as jovial as ever. |
| 129 | * MotivationalLie: He motivates Katooni to finish her lightsaber by framing it as payment for their escape from Florrum. Once she's succeeded, Ahsoka points out that he had no other choice but to ally with the Jedi to escape the Separatist army. |
| 130 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Fans quickly picked up on Hondo's voice being based on an imitation, with a popular guess being Ricardo Montelban. However, Cummings eventually stated it to be his "bad Yul Brunner." |
| 131 | * OddFriendship: |
| 132 | ** As of the end of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E9ANecessaryBond A Necessary Bond]]", there are hints that he is beginning to form one with Katooni. |
| 133 | ** He quickly forms one with Ezra in "Brothers of the Broken Horn". |
| 134 | * OffStageVillainy: He often brags or remarks about other crimes he has committed, some of which would put him in a FAR darker light if shown onscreen. For instance, he mentioned that his gang once murdered the members of a travelling circus who displeased him, and threatened the leader of the circus to do so again if the act did so again, while his men showed off the ''skulls'' of those previous performers, kept as trophies. In his first appearance, one of his traitorous crew-members dismissively said that Hondo himself couldn't kill an animal, let alone a person, which was what he was for, so he might have just been exaggerating... might. |
| 135 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: Profit is his singular motivation, and "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E7ATestOfStrength A Test of Strength]] especially shows this, with Hondo stating several times that he likes his profit. |
| 136 | * OnlySaneMan: He is this to his own crew, best shown when he correctly guesses that the Separatists are not to be bargained with unlike Turk Falso, and when he chides his men for falling for the Ventilation Shaft trick. |
| 137 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: Steals Vizago's ship and locks him in the brig. Given all the things Vizago has done to the ''Ghost'' crew (i.e. not pay them), he deserved that. |
| 138 | * PirateParrot: A pair of Kowakian Monkey Lizard brothers, actually, but the principle is the same. In the ''Star Wars'' universe, monkey lizards are bird-like mischief makers who are actually smarter than they look, hence one of them managing to swipe Count Dooku's lightsaber (Pilf) and another one able to fumble through the operation of a ''tank'' (Pikk). |
| 139 | * ThePowerOfTrust: Ezra repeatedly putting his trust in him, even though the rest of the crew thinks he's just trouble and betrays them at the drop of the hat, eventually leads to him being genuinely trustworthy, albeit ''only'' to Ezra. [[spoiler:He even admits in the finale of Rebels that he's only helping because of Ezra.]] |
| 140 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: He's the captain of his gang, and as noted below, he survived an encounter with Anakin using an electrostaff, and he's a pretty good shot with a blaster. |
| 141 | * ReallyGetsAround: Hondo is implied to be quite a prolific womanizer. As seen in ''The Clone Wars'', when Aurra Sing (who is his ex) brings a young Boba Fett to meet him: |
| 142 | -->'''Hondo:''' ''(looking at young Boba)'' Not mine, I take it. |
| 143 | * RedHerring: In "Legends of the Lasat", Chava reveals that there is a Prophecy of Three that has to do with the people Zeb has connections with. Hondo, who had been captured by Imperials earlier in the episode and doing a HeelFaceRevolvingDoor the entire time, reveals to Kallus that he had planted a tracker in the ''Ghost'', which leads to their ship jumping to the ''Ghost'''s location. Chava immediately says right after that scene that the Fool has set events into motion (as the Fool leads the Warrior in an attempt to destroy the Child). Kallus then makes contact with the crew to tell them to surrender, to which Chava reveals to the crew that he is in fact the Warrior, and it was already explained that Zeb is the Child. This seems to suggest that Hondo may be the Fool, though this is rather questionable, as Hondo has no major ties to Kallus nor Zeb, and the "Fool" setting things into motion may possibly just mean that the actions of the "Fool" in the past are affecting Kallus in the present. |
| 144 | * RefugeInAudacity: |
| 145 | ** He has gotten away with capturing or [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu talking down to people more powerful than him (and in the case of villains, more likely to kill him on the spot)]], such as Jedi (Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi), Sith (Count Dooku, Darth Maul) and Jedi killers (General Grievous). And he has survived every time. The worst that ever happens to him are some profit loss and at one point, the destruction of his base. |
| 146 | ** He once sold a pair of refugees of a near-extinct species to the Imperials, then called the Rebels to rescue them before the deal actually went through. Just after the rescue, he immediately sold out the Rebels to the Imperials for a bounty, ''and then phoned the same rebels to give them a head's up''. Predictably, neither side was amused at his antics, and he ended up getting arrested by the Imperials anyways. |
| 147 | * RichesToRags: He went from being one of the most successful pirates in the Galaxy during the era of the Clone Wars to a washed-up has-been in the age of the Empire. |
| 148 | * RubberForeheadAlien: He's a Weequay. |
| 149 | * PragmaticVillainy: Since his main motivation is profit, he isn't one for unnecessary losses. |
| 150 | * SchrodingersCanon: |
| 151 | ** According to ''The Clone Wars: Visual Guides Ultimate Battles'' (now ''Legends'' until further notice), his parents were poor swindlers that sold him into slavery as a child to "honor" Quay, the Weequay god. No comment on if it was [[AbusiveParents free will]] or religious law or some other third reason. |
| 152 | ** In ''[[WesternAnimation/LegoStarWarsTheFreemakerAdventures The Freemaker Adventures]]'', after the events of ''The Empire Strikes Back'', he ends up at Maz's Castle at one point, but he ends up causing enough trouble that Maz kicks him and the crew he made there out. |
| 153 | * ShooOutTheClowns: After serving a recurring comedic role in ''Rebels'', he makes two more appearances in the first half of the third season and doesn't return until [[BackForTheFinale the series finale]]. Hondo’s reduced appearances during this time comes when the series grows DarkerAndEdgier as the main cast grows more serious since the Empire is aggressively stepping up its attempts to stop them, and when Ezra, the only crew member he's on good terms with, matures significantly and has no time for shenanigans with Hondo. |
| 154 | * SignatureHeadgear: He is always wearing a helmet and very rarely ever takes it off. |
| 155 | * SinisterScimitar: He wields one (an ''actual'' scimitar, made of steel) against the droids in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E9ANecessaryBond A Necessary Bond]]". |
| 156 | * SpacePirates: He leads a group of them. |
| 157 | * StaffOfAuthority: Since he's the leader of the crew. |
| 158 | * TheStrategist: Quite efficient at developing strategies to turn the tables. |
| 159 | * SurroundedByIdiots: Compared to him, the rest of the pirates in his gang aren't all that smart. Not only does he seem to be the only one who knows making deals with the Separatists is a death sentence, he also chides his men for falling for the AirVentPassageway trick. |
| 160 | * UndyingLoyalty: It takes a long time, but eventually Hondo's motives change from solely "profit" to "profit and Ezra". He'll even fight for the Rebels without being paid, but he makes it clear that it's not because of their ideals or cause, but because Ezra asked him. |
| 161 | * WildCard: His only allegiance is to himself. And whether he's a BadBoss or BenevolentBoss usually depends on his mood. |
| 162 | -->'''Hondo:''' [[LampshadeHanging I find my mood so changeable these days.]] |
| 163 | * WouldHurtAChild: |
| 164 | ** He ordered his men to kill the Jedi children if they caused trouble. Though as Hondo notes, they aren't ''just'' children, they're [[OneManArmy Jedi]] children. Cummings made the distinction that although Hondo ''would'' hurt or kill the kids if it came down to it, he really didn't ''want'' to. He would much rather them all go home completely unharmed — and tell their friends about the time they met the fearsome pirate, Hondo Ohnaka! |
| 165 | ** In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E9ANecessaryBond A Necessary Bond]]", he admits that he doesn't like to involve children in battle. When Ahsoka points out his attack on the ''Crucible'', he waves it off as a change of heart. |

| 208 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: In less than a day, he betrayed Hondo before turning his back on Darth Maul to rejoin his former boss. |
| 209 | * EasilyForgiven: Hondo welcomes him and all the other surviving pirates who served Darth Maul back into his gang within seconds, both to swell his numbers again and because he was somewhat proud of their behavior. Hondo even leaves him in command of the base on Florrum sometimes. |
| 210 | * {{Greed}}: Everything he does, he does for greed. |

| 213 | * StupidEvil: He is really not that smart. Betraying Hondo is a pretty bad idea which he only barely survives, and he gets fooled by Lassa and Asajj Ventress into sending most of Hondo's forces away from their base, allowing them to steal a captured freighter from Hondo's men. |

| 249 | ---- |
| 250 | * AssholeVictim: He is killed by Count Dooku's force choke. Although Dooku mostly did so in revenge for being held for ransom and so he can get a ride off Florrum, Falso also committed treachery against Hondo, with fewer redeeming traits than his boss. |
| 251 | * TheDragon: He is Hondo's first second-in-command in the series, although he only lasts two episodes. |
| 252 | * ManipulativeBastard: He does a really good job playing Hondo, usually no one's fool, like a fiddle, convincing him that the Republic is attacking them after having one of his henchmen shoot down the Republic shuttle carrying the spice. |
| 253 | * PsychicStrangle: Just as Falso is preparing to flee Florrum, Dooku arrives and uses the Force to force Falso to shoot his accomplice before chocking him to death and stealing his ship. |
| 254 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After Jar Jar and Commander Stone defeat his forces and take his tanks, Falso realizes that Hondo would soon realize his treachery and tries to flee Florrum with his accomplice. |
| 255 | * SmugSnake: For how successful he was at initially deceiving Hondo, he thinks he's smarter than him, but it's really the other way around (for instance, Turk thought ransoming to the Separatists was more profitable, whereas Hondo knew that would only get them rewarded with death) and Hondo most likely found out about his betrayal after his death. |
| 256 | * TheStarscream: He plotted with a few pirates loyal to him to steal the spice ransom the Republic sent for the Jedi and Dooku out from under Hondo's nose. |
